2012 Cobalt A28

Step aboard and you’ll notice what really sets this A28 apart: space and finish. The deep, secure cockpit with its wraparound seating keeps guests comfortable even when the afternoon chop picks up, and the convertible aft lounge is perfect for stretching out between swims. Up forward, the wide bow area feels more like a small day yacht than a typical runabout, with high backrests and plenty of room to settle in. Underfoot, the fit and finish are pure Cobalt, from the stainless hardware to the quality upholstery that’s built to handle sun and salt. Add in the enclosed head compartment and generous storage and you’ve got a day boat that stays comfortable from first launch to sunset tie-up.

This A28 is dialed in for the kind of boating this area does best: relaxed harbor hopping, sandbar rafting, and afternoon cruises to waterside restaurants. Its size makes it easy to handle around busy marinas, yet the substantial freeboard and deep-V hull help smooth out open-bay conditions when the breeze comes on. The extended lounging areas let family and friends spread out on long no-wake stretches, while the enclosed head keeps everyone happy during full days on the water. With its refined ride and premium build, this model suits local boaters who want a solid, comfortable platform for exploring nearby coves and popular weekend anchorages.
